Counsel for the Petitioner/accused(S):

1. PUBLIC PROSECUTOR
The Court made the following order:
1. This criminal petition is filed under section 528 of the
Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 [for short
‘B.N.S.S.’] seeking to quash the proceedings in C.C.
No.683 of 2024 on the file of I Additional Judicial
Magistrate of First Class, Tadepalligudem.
-2-
CRL.P. No.2113 of 2025
2. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the
petitioners 1 and 2 are the father and mother of A.1.
Petitioner No.3 is the sister of A.1. The de facto
complainant and A.1 were married and certain disputes
arose during their marital life. Thereafter, the 2nd
respondent has filed a complaint against A.1 and the
petitioners herein, and the same was registered as a
case in Cr.No.305 of 2024 under Section 498-A read with
34 I.P.C. and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act.
The police have filed a charge sheet and the same was
taken on the file and the same was numbered as
C.C.No.683 of 2024 on the file of I Additional Judicial
First Class, Tadepalligudem.
3. Considering the submissions of the learned counsel for
the petitioners that the petitioners are staying separately
and have no role insofar as the marital disputes between
A.1 and the 2nd respondent, this Court deems it
appropriate to dispense with the presence of the
petitioners/A.2 to A.4 in C.C. No.683 of 2024 on the file of
the I Additional Judicial First Class Magistrate,
Tadepalligudem, subject to the petitioners filing an
-3-
CRL.P. No.2113 of 2025
undertaking to appear before the I Additional Judicial First
Class Magistrate, Tadepalligudem, as and when required.
4. With these observations, the criminal petition is disposed
off.
5. Miscellaneous petitions, if any, pending in this criminal
petition shall stand closed.
